looking for JS slideshow viewer

I am trying to learn JS by studying existing codes. I have figured out
(for the most part) how to use buttons to cycle through the images.
The problem I'm having is (most importantly) I don't want all of the
images to be preloaded. I'm running a slideshow (actually, I guess
it'd be called a picture viewer) with over 30 somewhat large pictures.
On a dialup connection, it takes FOREVER to load.

Also, if possible, can JS autosize an image on the fly keeping aspect
ratio?

Thanks for your help.

Mine do an auto show with manual override.

My site has some shows/folders with 100+ pics, I did recently use a
different jpg compression that shrunk the image size 80% for much faster
downloads while still looking good (before zooming anyway!)

On a dialup connection, it takes FOREVER to load.
Check my site for a few slide shows, the latest one preloads each "next"
pic in advance, just one at a time.

Also, if possible, can JS autosize an image
on the fly keeping aspect ratio?


Mine come through as they are, all different sizes. I did write some
code once that loaded a pic, then used the onLoad event to get the width and
height (you have to wait to get a reliable size!), then do some math to
compute the longest axis, divide that into the screen/window size, then
compute a scaling zoom factor that would adjust the pic size while keeping
aspect the same. I didn't like it because the zoom is a bit slow on some
machines, and the image quality suffers if there is too much zoom, but it is
definitely doable.

I want to create a web-based slideshow where it'll hunt through all the jpg files I put in a folder, irrespective of name or how many, and cycle through them, one by one. This would mean that whenever I have new pictures, I just upload them, and they are automatically part of the slideshow merely by being in the folder, without updating my code. The problem, I think, is the security aspect of the web based utility not having permission...

Hi New to javascript. I'm trying to understand how a script at a website I come across works. http://www.BRPPISAFETY.COM Nearly got it but I have changed the variable called 'crossFadeDuration' to large numbers and small numbers but it doesn't seem to do anything. Could someone explain what effect changing this variable should bring about and why don't I see any changes. many thanks David

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
